Thanks Sue! I see the feet in your s'cap............so yes, it was a duck!SueB wrote: ↑Thu May 31, 2018 1:14 pmOkay Jean, I won't post too much.
12:13 pm - this is the earliest I could find a tape on. Pa in and it looks like a duck, I think. He was feeding both of them at the beginning.

Here's a s'cap of how I identified it as a duck. Dusk wasn't too happy as Pa had started to slow down on handing out bites so s/he nipped Pa's beak.

12:20 pm - from the rollback - Dusk and Dawn thought Pa was done feeding them so they both walked away
12:29 pm - but Pa was back to feeding again
Dusk was done and now it's Dawn's turn
Re: Delta2 2017 - 2018 Observation and Discussion Thread
12:38 pm - from the rollback - Dusk and Dawn both looking over at Pa to see if that's it for them.
Guess so as they both go and lay down together

12:46 pm - from the rollback - Pa was finishing his meal
That's all I had from the YT tapes Jean. Both eaglets got quite a bit from this meal, and Pa too.

1:18pm............Dawn with a huge crop! Must have been a good sized duck and Dawn had lots from the looks of it!
Isn't Dusk the curious one? What is out there Dusk?

Jean, I just found the first YT tape showing Pa coming in with the duck. It was at 11:42 am. Here's a couple s'caps from that tape showing the duck.
Re: Delta2 2017 - 2018 Observation and Discussion Thread
1:20 pm - 3:02 pm - from the rollback - Dusk & Dawn have been mostly in the same place during this time. Both sat up at one point, and one did stretch a little, but other than that they have been laying down in the same spot together.
2:18 pm - this was Dawn doing some wingers 3:02 pm - current position

3:38pm..........Dawn grabbed a chunk of something in the nest, moved it around........then Dusk got hold of it and placed it at the other side.
Dusk was surprised to see the clump stand on end when his/her talons got a hold of it.
